Unlike Timber, or building off of an existing theme, Slate is intentionally bare bones — with little-to-no markup, classes, or code for you to strip out when creating custom Shopify themes for your clients. Instead, Slate includes templates and common configurations, sections, Sass helpers, JavaScript helpers, and more — all allowing you to build your themes, your way.

In this free webinar hosted by Shopify Partners, Nathan Ferguson — front end developer lead at Shopify — will show you how to use Slate in your custom theming projects. Having Slate preinstalled will be helpful for this session.

During this one-hour presentation, you will:

Start a new project with Slate.

Understand what features and functionalities are provided out-of-the-box.

Identify how to use Slate’s helper scripts to build custom functionality for storefronts, and inside the editor.

This webinar was hosted onThursday, May 11 at 1:00PM EST (10:00AM PST/5:00PM UTC).
